The most important factor in page rendering time (which is not the same as the CPU consumption being discussed on the ServerSide thread) is the quality of the JSP page compiler. Tomcat 4.0.6 (your platform) uses the original version of Jasper, whereas the current generation (4.1.27 and 5.0.6) uses a completely rewritten "Jasper2". On some apps I'm familiar with, just this change resulted in 6x-8x improvements in rendering speed. The difference is startling, even in a single user environment.
You're right ... reflection gets a bum rap when it gets blamed for long render times unless your CPU is maxed out. Even then, it's typically an insignificantly small factor in the big scheme of things.
